I  H  C  Mogul  45-Horse  Power  Gasoline  Tractor 

Two-Cylinder  Opposed 

Engines  —  Opposed  double  cylinders  are  used  on  this  tractor.     This  insures  perfect  balance  and  maximum  power. 
Cylinders — Cylinders  and  jacket  walls  are  cast  integral.     Ample  space  is  given  to  allow  free  circulation  of  the  cooling 

water. 

Cylinder  Heads — Bolted  to  cylinder.     The  water  jackets  of  the  head  and  the  cylinder  register. 

Valves  —  Poppet  type,  ground  in  their  seats  and  held  by  springs.  Valves  and  seats  may  be  removed  by  loosening  only 
one  bolt  and  without  removing  cylinder  head  or  disturbing  any  connections.  The  inlet  valve  check  keeps  intake 
valves  automatically  closed  when  the  exhaust  valve  is  held  open  in  cases  where  speed  is  above  normal.  Insures 
fuel  economy. 

Governor — Spring  governed,  fly-ball  type. 

Starting — A  relief  cam  relieves  the  compression  when  starting  the  engine.     This  makes  starting  easy. 

Piston — Trunk  type,  extra  long,  turned  and  carefully  ground  to  size.     Provided  with  lap-joint  piston  rings. 

Connecting  Rod  —  Drop  forged,  carefully  machined  to  size.  Provided  with  a  divided  box  on  the  crank  end  and  adjust- 
able split  babbitt  bushings  for  the  wrist  pin  bearing. 

Crank  Shaft  —  Forged  shaft  of  liberal  proportions  and  turned  to  exact  size. 

Main  Bearings — Special  high  grade  babbitt,  reinforced  with  stiff  metal  grid.  Machine  finished  to  gauge,  of  liberal 
length  and  thickness,  and  extra  heavy. 

Fly -Wheel  —  Provided  with  split  hub,  keyed  to  the  crank  shaft  and  clamped  by  means  of  bolts  running  through  the  hub. 

Gasoline  Pump  —  Plunger  type,  ball  valves,  operated  from  cam  shaft.     No  escape  of  gasoline  past  the  plunger. 

Mixer  — Nozzle  inside  of  air  pipe.  Controlled  by  needle  valve.  Fuel  is  atomized  before  it  enters  the  cylinder.  Mixer 
is  provided  with  overflow  pipe  to  carry  excess  fuel  back  to  the  tank. 

Ignition — Make- and -break  ignitor.  Spark  control  is  convenient  to  the  operator.  Electric  current  from  batteries  and 
auto  sparker. 

Oiling  System — Includes  two  separate  systems.  Mechanical  oiler  for  truck  and  pump  oiler  for  engine.  Mechanical 
oiler  furnishes  oil  for  the  three  countershafts  and  the  two  main  driving  gears.  Oil  is  supplied  to  engine  by 
means  of  a  pump  which  sprays  oil  into  the  crank  case  and  lubricates  the  crank  shaft,  connecting  rod,  cylinder, 
and  cam  shaft.     Oil  returns  to  oil  tank  for  continuous  use. 

Speed   Regulating   Device  —  Provides  for  a  variation  of  from  200  R    P.  M  to  375  R.  P.  M. 

Mounting — The  engine  is  mounted  on  a  substantial  steel  channel  frame.  The  sills  of  this  frame  are  reinforced  in  the 
rear  by  the  manner  in  which  the  axle  is  secured.  Extra  heavy  axle  castings  are  used.  The  base  of  the  engine  is 
securely  bolted  to  steel  channel  sills.  The  front  axle  is  arched  and  trussed  by  two  heavy  steel  rods.  The  rear 
axle  is  5  inches  in  diameter  and  is  continuous — extending  through  both  drive  wheels.  The  weight  of  the  frame 
is  so  distributed  that  maximum  tractive  power  is  produced.

Gears  —  Power  is  transmitted  to  the  drive  wheels  from  the  countershaft  by  two  sets  of  pinions  and  gears.  The 
pinion  on  the  crank  shaft  drives  the  differential  gear  on  the  countershaft,  and  the  two  pinions  on  the  ends  of  the 
countershaft  drive  the  large  gears  on  the  drive  wheels.  In  this  way,  power  is  equally  distributed  to  both  drive 
wheels  The  crank  shaft  pinions  and  large  differential  gear  are  cut  to  insure  maximum  wearing  qualities.  The 
countershaft  is  secured  to  the  frame  by  heavy  bearing  castings.  Particular  attention  is  called  to  this  construc- 
tion, because  it  insures  such  rigidity  that  the  gears  can  never  get  out  of  alignment  and  cut.  A  good  shield  is 
provided  for  all  gears.      Oil  is  supplied  to  the  bearings  by  mechanical  oiler. 

Removable  Differential  Pinion — The  differential  pinion  may  be  removed  and  replaced  without  removing  or  disturbing 
any  other  parts. 

Friction  Reverse — The  friction  reverse  makes  it  possible  to  throw  the  reverse  while  the  engine  is  moving,  without  danger 
of  stripping  the  gear  teeth.     This  construction  also  eliminates  an  intermediate  gear. 

Clutch — Only  one  friction  clutch  is  used  to  transmit  power  from  the  crank  shaft  to  the  gears.  This  clutch  has  three 
shoes  with  large  friction  blocks  which  engage  the  metal  surface  of  the  pulley.  There  is  no  danger  of  breakage 
because  the  large  coiled  springs,  one  of  which  is  placed  behind  each  clutch  shoe,  take  up  sudden  jerks  and 
permit  the  gears  to  be  started  slowly,  no  matter  how  suddenly  the  clutch  is  thrown  in. 

Operating  Levers — There  are  two  operating  levers,  one  for  forward  speed,  and  one  for  reverse.  These  levers  are 
located  within  easy  reach  of  the  operator. 

Drive  Wheels — The  drive  wheels  are  72  inches  in  diameter  with  a  24-inch  face.  The  hubs  have  a  24-inch  bearing. 
These  drive  wheels  are  well  lugged  and  provision  is  made  for  attaching  extra  lugs.  A  I  2-inch  tire  extension  is 
furnished  on  special  order  which,  when  attached  to  these  wheels,  gives  a  36-inch  surface. 

Cooling  Arrangement — The  engine  is  water  cooled.  The  water  is  forced  through  the  jacket  and  up  through  the  cooling 
tower  by  means  of  a  rotary  pump.  As  the  water  descends  through  the  cooling  tower  over  a  series  of  horizontal 
galvanized  steel  plates,  air  is  forced  up  through  it  by  means  of  a  suction  fan.  Engine  and  tank  may  be  easily 
drained  at  night  to  prevent  freezing. 

Oil  and  Gasoline  Tanks — The  oil  and  gasoline  tanks  are  constructed  of  1  0-gauge  plate  steel  instead  of  galvanized  iron 
which  is  commonly  used. 

Accessibility — All  parts  are  easily  accessible  and  can  be  reached  without  removing  a  number  of  other  parts. 

Conveniences — The  operator's  platform  is  large  and  roomy.  All  operating  levers  are  within  easy  reach.  The  filling 
pipe  is  readily  accessible.  The  auto  sparker  is  conveniently  located  out  of  the  way  of  all  gears.  Right  hand 
drive  wheel  is  provided  with  large  shield  to  protect  the  operator. 

Equipment — Swinging  draw-bar,  mud  lugs,  auto  sparker,  and  speed  changing  devices  are  part  of  the  regular  equipment
